Your dream writing clients...

Let’s land them, shall we? May 20, 2024 [The Writer’ s Life]( "Nothing happens until something moves." — Albert Einstein Hi {NAME}, What would a "dream client" look like to you? For AWAI success [Rebekah Mays](, it's a client that pays her amazing fees … has projects she's excited to work on … and appreciates the value she brings to the table. Now imagine building a writing business that's full of those dream clients. It's possible — when you follow proven tactics! And this week, she'll be sharing with you five tactics to make this a reality. Take it away, Rebekah! To your success, Rebecca Matter (the other Rebecca) 😉 Rebecca Matter President AWAI Hi there — Rebekah Mays here! 👋 I'm excited to take the reins of The Writer's Life this week to help you land all the clients you'll need to reach your financial goals. The first of the five tactics I'm going to share with you is picking a niche. A niche is your "target market" — the types of clients you serve. This might be an industry … or it might be some other way of categorizing your target market. Some writers think that choosing a niche will limit them. But in reality, it opens up opportunities. Not only will choosing a niche provide you with clarity about whom to target with your marketing efforts and give you massive speed when handling your writing projects … But it will also allow your dream clients to find you and you to show them you're the perfect fit for them. In fact, I'm constantly hearing from prospects that they're interested in my services *because* I specialize in their unique industry. Fortunately, choosing a niche doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, Pam Foster, AWAI's learning chief, explains everything about choosing your niche in this [free training](. Why not choose a niche today … so you can start having clients reach out to you? Now, if you could use some help getting your writing business up and going full steam, [the "other Rebecca" has some big news for you](. 😉 It's a total game changer and has to be the fastest and most stress-free way possible.

But after graduating with a master's in English literature, her goal of becoming a high school English teacher no longer felt like the right career path. She had grown to love her flexible schedule, so working a job with rigid hours just wasn't appealing. She also realized that teaching wasn't her passion. Writing was. "Getting up early every morning and talking to a bunch of high school students about stuff that maybe they weren't interested in, I just didn't think I could do it," she recalled.
